About

The Mindful Design is a nonprofit in Washington State, a 501(c)(3) started in 2025, for accessible, evidence-based mindfulness education. Its founder is a mindfulness teacher and records every moment here.

What this course is

Each moment is a short recording and a small skill for something you already do. Take them in order, or start anywhere. Nothing is locked, counted or scored.

Before you begin

This course teaches a few everyday skills. You can stop any time. Some people feel worse, not better, when they turn attention inward. That’s common and usually passes. Eyes open is fine, always, and if paying attention to your breath is hard for you, choose Sound or Feet and seat in any moment.

What it is not

It does not treat, cure or prevent anything, and it is not a substitute for care from a doctor or a therapist. If a practice ever feels like too much, pause it, and look around.

In an urgent situation, use the Help page.

The evidence, plainly

Longer mindfulness programmes, over several weeks, are what most trials have studied. This course is shorter and in pieces, chosen because it fits busy lives. Where a moment mentions a study, it says who was studied and what the study did not show.

Privacy

This site stores nothing about you. There are no accounts, no sign-in, no cookies, no analytics and no advertising. It does not remember which moments you have opened or where you stopped. The quick questions are not saved.

What happens when you play a recording

Recordings play from our storage at Cloudflare. As with any website, their servers keep ordinary connection logs for a short time, which include your device’s internet address and the name of the recording. We do not use those logs to identify anyone.

If you add this page to your Home Screen, that is your phone’s own feature and stays on your phone. Your browser keeps its own history; you can clear it in your browser’s settings.

The Help page

Tapping a number on the Help page opens your phone’s own calling or messaging app. Nothing about that tap is recorded here.
